There’s a new way to have your personal and professional data on you all the time. Ever heard of the T1? It’s the portable SSD designed with V-NAND technology. We’ve carefully taken the powerful performance of an internal SSD, added the best security you can find and put it in a cool looking shell roughly the size of business card. The T1 is the perfect portable portfolio for your life in the digital world we live in.
I have one of these and it's the best portable memory storage I've ever had :) although I paid over £300 from Amazon

Just buy a 1TB 850 evo (if you're after hardware encryption) and a sata to usb 3.1 cable. Ive got three ssds for data transfer and im using star tech cases. Really nifty to protect the sata pins. Or an enclosure.

I've tried this with a couple of SSDs in a USB3 case and they both behave very strangely. Sometimes the drive isn't recognised when plugged into a usb3 socket (on several machines). The access light keeps flashing but nothing happens, then when it is accessed it says it's unformatted. Connected to USB2 ports and its fine (but slow)

They're not 850s (just cheap off the shelf ssds I've picked up from here) I use those for proper computing. Though when you compare a ssd to a flash USB stick they tend to be a lot more robust and easily allow me to make copies of large directories and files.
This is the case: There's a flap for easy access to the sata pins
Have you checked disk management? Updating the firmware may also help. I did have a similar issue (Data on the drive however my laptop wouldn't pick the disk up) but formatting the disk to NTFS then mounting as a simple volume resolved it.

Disk management shows it as raw when connected to a USB3 port. I haven't tried to update the firmware, but this occurs with two different SSDs.

Can you reformat it? As a simple volume and try another pc.
Manufacturer out of stock! wow! thats something else lol I was after the 1TB evo 850 ssd was £193.20 but again manufacturer out of stock. Its ridiculous to say the least

Think they're trying to shift old stock as the new T3 is available now
